Spain Under-21 international Garcia started six of City's 10 Premier League games after the season restarted in June.

The Chilean midfielder's goal was fortuitous, Ousmane Dembele's corner deflecting kindly off Ruben Perez and falling to Vidal, who could not miss from a yard out. Barcelona have lost three times away from home this season and looked nervy in the first half, deservedly falling behind when En-Nesyri picked out the top corner with a rasping shot after 11 minutes. Oscar Rodriguez should have doubled the home side's lead but found the side-netting as their visitors struggled to get going in the final third.

Here are some possibilities: International matches are played in several short windows which are seen by some as an unwelcome intrusion into the club season. An alternative would be to concentrate them into one or two longer windows per season. This would give national team coaches more time to train their squads, which could in turn improve the quality of matches -- often compared unfavourably to club games -- and could reduce long-haul travel for the players.
Great success came to RB Leipzig this season when most of their pillars were in good form and rarely had to quit due to injury.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1Al's prediction: I think Norwich will come out fighting but I would back Saints to win it. Tottenham v Man Utd (20:15 BST)It is going to be interesting to see how Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer puts his team together now he has players back fit. Earlier in the season, he was having to mix and match in midfield but now he has Paul Pogba back to play alongside Bruno Fernandes and they are both players of real quality.
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme means the government will pay staff placed on furlough - temporary leave - 80% of their wages, to a maximum of £2,500 a month. Knight is concerned that the scheme is not being used in the appropriate way. This isn't what it's designed for. It's not designed to effectively allow them to continue to pay people hundreds of thousands of pounds, while at the same time furloughing staff on hundreds of pounds," said the MP for Solihull.
Rafinha warmed to the game and was key to Celta Vigo dragging themselves back into the match late on.

By now the game had opened up and I said on BBC Radio 5 live that it was perfect for Sterling to get in a one-on-one with someone in a wide area and push him back into the box. That is exactly what happened. Dani Carvajal is experienced enough to know better than to go to ground, but he went for the tackle when he should have just carried on running with him. Sterling is so quick that Carvajal made the mistake and left a leg in, and down he went.

There are signs, despite the blip before the winter break, that Real Madrid are building momentum and are becoming a quintessential Zidane team again. MAN OF THE MATCH - Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) After a shaky start to his Real Madrid career, Courtois has finally found a good vein of form and this was arguably his best display to date for the club.
Whether you like it or not, a forward's job is to put the ball in the net," said Shearer. So it's goalscoring, winning stuff with his team and not necessarily longevity in the Premier League - when you put all that in, the list we have is a tough one. Wright added: "Michael Owen was scintillating in his early career and he didn't make the list. But what we've got here, this 10, is magnificence. It's all worth noting that Wright was one the initial list, but he gave up his spot for Andrew Cole.
In a statement, the PFA added: "We are aware of the public sentiment that the players should pay non-playing staff's salaries.

A wonderful moment of interplay on the edge of the box between Rogic and Griffiths allowed in the Scotland striker, who dinked the ball past Hladky to make it 2-0. Getting anything from this match would have been a bonus for St Mirren, their impending midweek encounter against Hearts of greater import in terms of how this season pans out. As for Celtic, this was all about ensuring no complacency crept in with such a massive gap over Rangers at the top of the table and a meeting with their city rivals at Ibrox next weekend.
Williams again showed why she is the Matildas national team keeper when she got down well for a vital save to deny substitute Sydney striker Princess Ibini 10 minutes from time.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of PSV. The visitors have the more talented squad and last weekends’ win could suggest they are over their dip in form, but we are still expecting a close and competitive game, despite the points and positions gap between the two clubs, and believe PSV will just do enough to win the game.
May worked tirelessly as usual, hassling and harrying as well as beating Goldson to flick the ball on in the build-up to Hendry's goal. The front two made sure there were no easy passes for Rangers' hesitant centre-half pairing, and Jamie McCart missed a good chance for a second St Johnstone goal before the break.
Aubameyang’s versatility would allow him to offer support where it is needed while not having to compromise the amount of first-team action he gets if he leaves Arsenal. Manchester United A slightly odd but persistent rumour has been the suggestion that Manchester United might be interested in bringing Aubameyang to Old Trafford.
Well there is very good value at this one if you ask me. Both teams are in good shape lately with only one lost at the last 5 matches. Beitar Jerusalem are the better team with more quality but today they will be without Maksim Grechkin(20/0) , Ali Mohamed(27/1) , Eliran Atar(5/4 - huge blow) , Shlomi Azulay(20/7) , Antoine Conte(18/1) and Hanan Maman(5/1) two when you take this players out of the squad this match is very match even and with the performances Hapoel is showing lately I don't think they are going to lose this one. Almost every time this two teams meet to play each other the matches are very though where at the end if it is not draw only one single goal is deciding the winner. My call 1-1 or 0-0
